According to the 50-year-old Sen. Grace Poe who was disqualified by the Commission on Elections second division, her opponents already intensified their moves to stop her presidential bid.

When the media asked who she throught were behind such efforts to stop her presidential bid, the first-termer senator said “Eh di yung mga katunggali ko na dalawa na sigurado ako may mga taong ’yun na nagpaharap ng mga kasong yun.”

She added: “Alam na ninyo ang mga koneksyon. Basta ganito, makikita naman ninyo sa mga galaw nila. Sino bang may mga koneksyon sa may malalakas na mga law firm? Sino bang alam nating mga dati pang kaalyado ng mga ibang tumatakbo?”

Although Sen. Grace Poe did not immediately name her opponents who were behind the disqualification case against her, she suddenly ended the interview but after a couple of minutes, her staff announced that she would come back and answer more questions from the media.

The media then asked to confirm if the two rivals she was referring to were Binay and Roxas, Sen. Grace Poe said: “Oo, sila naman yun e.” But Poe quickly added: “Hindi. Ang sinabi ko ’yung mga tumatakbo ngayon. Nasa sa inyo na po pero ’yun yung sinasabi ko.”

Sen. Grace Poe also vowed to fight the disqualification case filed against her and was already decided by the Comelec second division as her group plans to appeal the decision to the Supreme Court of the Philippines.
